The deficiency-free rating as a result of the State’s rigorous examination is a top indicator of excellence for nursing home care. The state surveyed Alaris Health at Jersey City in early June 2018 for quality outcomes, safety, administration effectiveness, cleanliness, nursing care, activity programs, resident rights and several other areas.

Just last September 2017, the New Jersey Department of Health began its extended survey process making this deficiency-free survey even more impressive than many achieved in years passed.

“I am grateful for all the team members in all the departments that put in many hours of preparation for the survey. I especially want to thank the entire nursing department ; the DON, ADON, Unit managers, RNS, LPNS, and the CNAs who care for our residents and who made this outcome possible. We are also indebted to Meg Rizzo, our RNQA, who guided us through the process and who was a hands on consultant for us all.” – Robert Smolin, Administrator at Alaris Health at Jersey City (10 years at Alaris Health).

Between May 21st 2018 – May 23rd 2018 20 members of the Alaris Health at The Atrium Assisted Living team attended training to better understand how to aide and assist with our residents who suffer from Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

The team was instructed by Billiejean O’Brien RN, MSN, LNHA,N E A – BC, CDP , Trainer NCCDP who stated “By investing in our team’s continued development and education we believe we will continue to offer our residents the best possible opportunity for care and quality outcomes.”

Every element of our care affects the quality of life a resident experiences with us which is why it was of utmost importance to include all departments in our training from environmental services to direct caregivers and administration. The education outlined diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, communication, feelings, depression, repetitive behavior and aggressive behaviors with appropriate de-escalation techniques, activities, environment, staff and family support.

Sue was selected for the award because of her and Alaris Health at The Chateau’s ongoing dedication to and partnership with the Rochelle Park Police Department. Rochelle Park Police Chief Robert Flannely said, “Through blizzards, storms or state emergencies, Sue and the team have always opened their doors to us during challenging times. They provide food and medical care to my officers when other facilities are closed.”

While Sue is grateful for having received the award, she said, “Having strong relationships with the pillars in our community is incredibly important. With the Rochelle Park Police Department, it’s a mutual respect that we have for each other, recognizing and honoring the demands of our professions. They protect and serve the community and we strive to do the same with our residents.”

Police Chief Flannely knows first-hand the level of care and dedication the Alaris Health at The Chateau team provides every day, because his mother was a resident there. “She was treated with outstanding care,” he said. “The staff was professional and nurturing. Sue specifically kept me informed in every step of my mother’s care, including involving me in meetings with doctors and staff. Her attention to detail and deep regards for the residents is truly one of her many assets.”

Jersey City, NJ, November 13, 2017 – For many families, Christmas is a time to be joyful and celebrate, but the gift-giving season can also be a stressful time financially. Many of Alaris Health Member Center families have experienced hardship and struggled to afford gifts for their kids to make the holidays brighter.

All of the toys donated this year will be tallied at the end of the drive. Last year we collected over 450 toys, this year our goal is 1000! Raquel Pecillo-Mulligan, Regional Director of Provider Relations, said about the toy drive, “Alaris Health is always committed to making a difference. Donate this season to Toys for Tots to make a difference in the life of a child. Every donation counts and together we can make a difference in the lives of many children”.

As a thank you, each person who makes a donation has the chance to win a prize three times a week for the duration of the drive. Simply take a selfie with the Alaris banner at the drop-off location and post it to social media, including #T4TAlaris.
